Chicago Sexuality and Sexual Identity Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Chicago.

Quote #1

BANDLEADER: Ladies and gentleman, the Onyx club is proud to present Chicago's hottest dancing duo: two jazz babes moving as one.

This is one of the first lines in the movie, introducing Velma and Veronica Kelly. Even without them being murderers, the crowd is drawn to them because they're hot women. Two jazz dudes wouldn't draw the same crowd as two women capitalizing on their sex appeal.

Quote #2

VELMA: Oh, she's gonna shimmy till her garters break.

This lyric from "All That Jazz" is juxtaposed with a visual of Fred Casely removing Roxie's garters in a fit of lust. It illustrates how Roxie is using her sexuality in the hopes of achieving fame.

Quote #3

COP: From what I hear, he's been burgling you three times a week for the last month.

We just included this line because it's so funny.
